On 13 October 2025, H.E. Ms. Abir Ali presented her credentials as Ambassador of Lebanon to Germany to H.E. Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Federal President of Germany. Following the ceremony at Bellevue Palace, Ambassador Ali remarked:
“Today I had the honor to present my letters of credence to H.E. Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier accrediting me as Ambassador of Lebanon to Germany.”
According to the official schedule of the Federal President’s Office, Ambassador Ali’s accreditation took place at 10:00 a.m. on that day.
Ambassador Ali previously served as Chargé d’Affaires of the Lebanese Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands (2013–2017), where she earned great respect across the diplomatic community. Known for her professionalism, intellect, and warm presence, she left behind a legacy of accomplishments and lasting friendships.
During her farewell from The Hague, H.E. Abdelouahab Bellouki, Ambassador of Morocco, paid her a sincere tribute:
“Abir is the personification of class and grace, of elegance and style and even glamour. Educated, wise, and full of charm — she is the person you hope to be seated next to at a dinner party. A distinguished representative of her country, the beautiful Lebanon. Abir is known for her dedication to her job and her engagement for positive endeavors. Her sterling qualities command respect and consideration. Even though she was a one-person embassy, she succeeded in making the voice of Lebanon heard in the Netherlands on many fronts.”
Diplomat Magazine warmly congratulates Ambassador Abir Ali and wishes her a fruitful, inspiring, and successful posting in Germany.
